Rent a Mac

Pros: There are no pros here. I just have to fill up this section. I wish I could rate zero stars, because Rent a Mac has no pros. only cons.

Cons: SUPPORT IS TERRIBLE.
ZERO EMPATHY AND COMMON SENSE.

I run a business myself. I understand late payments happen. I understand edge cases. But this isn't about being patient with a minor inconvenience - this is about a company that:

Uses outdated payment technology that rejects valid cards
Punishes customers for their own technical failures
Deletes data within hours without notification
Shows zero remorse or responsibility

Overall: WARNING: Rent a Mac Will Delete Your Data Without Notice - AVOID AT ALL COSTS
CRITICAL ISSUE: Payment system doesn't support 3D Secure (3DS) authentication - leading to immediate data deletion
I need to share this nightmare experience so others don't lose their work like I did.
What Happened
RentaMac deleted ALL my data because their payment system failed to process my 3DS-authenticated card. No warning. No grace period. Just gone.
The Problems
1. Outdated Payment Infrastructure
Their system doesn't handle modern 3D Secure card authentication. When my legitimate payment failed due to their technical limitation - not my card, not insufficient funds - they immediately wiped my server.
2. Zero Customer Communication

No notification that payment failed
No warning before data deletion
No grace period to resolve the issue
I was literally asleep when they deleted everything

3. Cascading Consequences
Now I can't even reactivate my Apple account on a new server because of their abrupt termination. Their negligence created problems that extend beyond their own platform.
4. Support That Doesn't Support
When I reached out, I encountered complete indifference. No accountability. No empathy. No understanding of the gravity of deleting someone's work without warning.
Why This Is Unacceptable
I run a business myself. I understand late payments happen. I understand edge cases. But this isn't about being patient with a minor inconvenience - this is about a company that:

Uses outdated payment technology that rejects valid cards
Punishes customers for their own technical failures
Deletes data within hours without notification
Shows zero remorse or responsibility

My Warning to You
If you're considering RentaMac, ask yourself: Can you afford to lose everything with zero notice because their payment system is stuck in 2010?
Do not trust them with your data. Do not trust them with your work. Just don't.
There are other Mac rental services that understand basic customer service principles and use modern payment processing. Choose literally anyone else.
